Did you call support? You don't have to wait it out. When I first called it in, I received the "run-time workaround" (my phrase) which is to do a ps, kill the bpdbm process shown, repeat until done. My understanding is that bpdbm is the process waiting five minutes to time out for each client; killing it over and over will get through that part as fast as you can repeat (or script) the ps/kill. When the "upgrade the hardware definitions of the client" part is done, either from it going through all your clients five minutes at a time, or by you killing them to speed the loop, the upgrade will finish as normal. At that point, run the bpplconvert manually, which will work normally and be done in a second or two. Whether you let it go 10 hours, timing out on each client, or use the ps/kill method, the upgrade is the same: successful except for those client hardware definition updates. Running the bpplconvert then corrects that in milliseconds. _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu http://mailman.eng.auburn.edu/mailman/listinfo/veritas-bu
